The phrase "individual glaciers" refers to separate pieces of ice that are found on mountains or in cold areas. Each glacier has its own unique shape, size, and characteristics. Full definition
Annual net balance of individual glaciers was correlated with climate records. (nichols.edu)
On individual glaciers, ice discharge was compared with snow input from the interior and melt above the flux gate to determine the glacier mass balance. (realclimate.org)
Because accurately measuring individual glaciers is a challenge, previous research used the available data to make a consensus estimate of the world's glacier loss. (wxshift.com)
